Claiming the value of stolen commodity


A: If the reality is as you have mentioned, this contract with the company (Part No. 15; Page No. 271) is invalid, because it entails uncertainty and risk. The company that is going to claim the value of lost or damaged goods is going to take the money agreed upon even if the goods are delivered safely to their owners. They might also pay more or less than the sum of money agreed upon if there is a problem with the goods. The claim that the goods owners are not done injustice anyway is not true, as they might pay the money agreed upon to the company in return for nothing if the goods are safe. The company might also fail to reclaim the value of the damaged goods, unless they pay it on their own responsibility as a debt. This is another risk which might be added to the first one. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
